My 2020 Meditation Vision
I am stretching here to share a personal part of my year’s journey so far. I attended an Archangel Metatron workshop the weekend of January 11/12 as we entered into the Full Moon Lunar eclipse. The emotional energies were very sensitive. We did a powerful meditation on the first afternoon that really stayed with me. […]
The Reiki Triangle – An Energy Balance
A good friend shared an article with me recently that really hit home. It was all about the Reiki Triangle and how one Reiki master interprets its value. I found it curious because in the 24 years that I have been practicing Reiki, I had not heard this term. What I found was a very […]
Change Your Lens – Change Your Life
Happy fall! It is my favourite time of year. As I reflect on the activities of the past summer, I am reminded of one great morning at church where our minister decided to show a movie entitled, “Celebrate What is Right in the World” by Dewitt Jones. It was so rich in inspiration, both visually […]
What’s My Type – A Look at the Enneagram
The Enneagram personality system is a valuable platform for understanding ourselves and others. I was introduced to it in 1994. Since then it has provided so much wisdom for me in my business and personal life that it was only natural for me to incorporate it into my practice. Not Putting You in a “Box” […]
Japan – Collaboration & Creativity
Looking through my photos of my trip to Japan allows me to continue to integrate my experience. Today I want to share what is possible when we open up to collaboration from others on a challenge to create something totally unique and special.
The Buddhist Temple of Otagi Nenbutsu-ji
One of the Temples that I visited really touched my heart from this perspective. Otagi Nenbutsu-ji is a Buddhist Temple in the Arashiyama neighbourhood of Kyoto. Originally founded by Empress Shotoku in the middle of the eighth century, it was destroyed once by flooding and once by a civil war. It was moved to its current location in 1922, later suffering typhoon damage in 1950. It took thirty years to repair the damage but when it was finally restored worshipers celebrated by donating the 1200 rakan sculptures (stone statues representing the disciples of Buddha).
Finding Your Tribe
I just completed a 3 day Reiki Retreat last week and by the end many of my students expressed feeling such comfort because they had “found their tribe”. This expression describes the feeling of being in a group of like-minded people where it is safe to share our true selves. We get to dream, explore our inner world, express our needs and feel supported instead of judged.
The Power of Biophoton Light in Healing
Biophotons are the smallest physical units of light which are stored in and used by all biological organisms – including your body. The purpose of these biophotons is much more important than many have realized. It turns out that they may very well be in control of virtually every biochemical reaction that occurs in your body — including supporting your body’s ability to heal.
Leaving a Legacy: North Metro Chorus
I recently attended my Regional Sweet Adeline contest in Syracuse, New York where we honoured our director of 45 years. The legacy she has left for not only her chorus, but the Region and the International organization is undeniable.
Singing has been a passion of mine since I was a young girl and though I sang in school choirs and dreamed of growing up to be in musicals…. I never would have guessed that my passion would find its home in a women’s four-part a cappella organization.
